SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol indicates WARNING. 
Personal injury and/or damage to property 
may result if the instructions are not 
followed carefully.
GENERAL
• Study the warning stickers on the machine. 
Replace damaged or illegible warning stickers.
• Please read through these instructions carefully. 
Learn all the controls and the correct use of the 
machine. Keep these instructions.
• Never use the machine if others, particularly 
children or animals, are in the vicinity. Anyone 
who is not aware of these regulations may not use 
the machine. Never let children use the machine.
• The user is responsible for accidents that happen 
to other people or their property.
PREPARATIONS
• Wear protective gloves, protective glasses and 
hearing protectors. Avoid loose clothing.
• Always stand steadily and in balance. Do not 
stretch towards the machine. Never stand at a 
higher level than the machine during use.
• During use, the machine should be flat and on a 
firm surface.
• Ensure that all screws and nuts are properly 
tightened before use. 
• Only use the machine in dry conditions and never 
outdoors when it is raining.
• Never use the machine with damaged safety 
devices or without protection.
USING THE MACHINE
• Hard objects such as stones, bottle, cans or pieces 
of metal must not be fed into the feeding hopper. 
This can cause damage to the machine.
• If the machine becomes blocked, stop the motor 
and disconnect the plug. Pull out any objects and 
check for damage.
• Do not tug on the connection cable. Do not hold 
the cable taught. This can cause damage in the 
plugs or in the cable’s insulation. Such damage is 
invisible but can be dangerous.
• Always keep the connection cable away from the 
machine. Disconnect the plug from the electric 
socket and check the cable regularly for signs of 
damage or ageing. Do not use the machine with a 
damaged connection cable.• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an 
authorised service dealer in order to avoid a 
hazard.
• If the fuse blows or if the overload protection is 
triggered, this is a sign that the machine is 
overloaded and/or that two many appliances are 
connected to the same lead. Check the cause and 
remedy. Do not install a more powerful fuse.
• Keep hands, other parts of your body and clothing 
away from the feeding hopper and the discharge 
chute. Never wear loose clothing or clothes with 
belts or straps when using the machine.
• Keep away from the discharge zone when starting 
the motor.
• Do not allow the pile of processed material to 
build up inside the discharge chute. This blocks 
new material and can cause the machine to change 
its direction of rotation.
• Keep your face and the rest of your body away 
from the feeding hopper.
• Never move the machine by pulling the cable. 
The machine must not be moved with the motor 
running.
• Do not leave the machine unsupervised, but first 
switch off the motor and disconnect the plug.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• During cleaning and maintenance, wear 
protective gloves to avoid injury.
• Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug 
before carrying out checks or maintenance on the 
machine.
• If a foreign object comes into contact with the 
spiral cutter or if the machine produces an 
abnormal noise level or abnormal vibrations, 
switch off the motor immediately.  Disconnect the 
plug and check for any damage. 
• The manufacturer’s obligations and liability 
(according to the Product Liability Act) only 
apply on the condition that only spare parts 
approved by the manufacturer are used.
• Store the machine in a dry place.
• When, after many years of service, your machine 
needs to be replaced or is no longer required, we 
recommend that the machine is returned to your 
distributor for recycling.

USING THE MACHINE
GENERAL
This machine is only intended for private use, not 
to be used professionally. 
The compost shredder is designed to shred organic 
material such as dry plant residue, twigs, sticks and 
branches.
TRANSPORT
Take great care during transport and when the 
machine is to be lifted. Lift the machine by taking 
a firm grip of the legs by the mounting to the motor 
housing, under the compost shredder, and lift 
carefully. Never lift the machine using the cover.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Only use the machine with the cable supplied with 
your shredder.
If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an 
authorised service dealer.
Connect the machine to a single phase electric 
socket with a protective conductor (earth). The 
electric circuit should be fused with a 10A inert 
fuse.
You are recommended to use an earth leakage 
circuit breaker which interrupts the current in the 
event of something happening to the machine or 
connection cable.
If a portable earth leakage circuit breaker is used, 
it should always be placed between the electric 
socket and the connection cable.
Even if an earth leakage circuit breaker is used, 
safety cannot be guaranteed. Always follow the 
safety instructions provided. Ideally wear shoes 
with thick rubber soles.
Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit 
breaker before each use.
In the event of unfavourable electrical mains 
conditions, brief voltage drops can occur when you 
start the apparatus which can affect other 
appliances (e.g. causing lights to flicker).
With a mains impedance of Z
max < 0,30+j0,19 
ohm, such disturbances are unlikely.
STARTING THE MOTOR
Ensure that the shredder is empty 
before starting the motor.
Start the motor by first turning the control 
anti-clockwise and then turning on the 
main switch (1) (fig. 9).

ENGLISHEN
CHANGING DIRECTION OF 
ROTATION
Never turn the twist switch when 
the motor is running!
Change the direction of rotation as below. 
See fig. 9:
1.  Stop the motor by pushing the red knob “0”.
2. Wait until the spiral cutter has stopped.
3. Set the twist switch in the desired position.
4. Start as above.
MOTOR PROTECTION
The shredder is equipped with a built-in motor 
protection which prevents the motor being 
overloaded.
In the event of overloading, the main switch is 
turned off automatically. The current is broken. 
After 5 minutes of cooling, the motor can be 
started again.
AUTOMATIC CHANGE IN 
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
In the event of a sudden blockage, the machine can 
automatically change the direction of rotation. 
This causes the material to be fed back.
• switch off the machine.
• wait until the spiral cutter has stopped
• start the machine again and use material which 
can be processed more easily.
STOPPING THE MOTOR
Stop the motor by pushing the red knob 
“0”. See fig. 9.
Do not feed in any material after the 
motor has been stopped. This will get 
caught in the machine and can make 
restarting impossible.
Disconnect the plug if the machine is to be left 
unsupervised.
EMERGENCY STOP
In order to stop the machine quickly, e.g. in an 
emergency, press the 0 button on the main switch.
DISCONNECT SWITCH
The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch. 
This means that the main switch is automatically 
disconnected in the event of a loss of current. The 
machine can be started again by reconnecting the 
plug and turning on the main switch.
SHREDDING
The following types of material can be shredded in 
the compost  shredder:
- twigs and branches
-  waste from cutting bushes.
-  waste from hedge-trimming.
-  plant parts and other garden waste which is 
suitable for shredding. 
Examples of materials which are not suitable for 
shredding include:
- glass, paper, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric, 
earth-covered roots.
- waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g. 
kitchen waste.
To prevent damage to the machine, you are 
recommended not to exceed the following 
maximum sizes of twigs and branches: 
< 40 mm in diameter.
Feel free to stand the shredder on a tarpaulin or 
similar before shredding. This will catch the 
shredded material and make removal easier. 
The material that is to be shredded is fed into the 
feeding hopper and, assuming it is not too bulky, 
automatically pulled down through the slowly 
rotating spiral cutter to the blades. 
Branches and twigs should be shredded shortly 
after being cut. They become extremely hard when 
they dry out, and the maximum diameter of what 
can be shredded is reduced.
A large proportion of garden waste contains a lot 
of water and therefore sticks easily. Such material 
should be allowed to dry for a few days before 
being processed. 
Store the shredder indoors in a dry place.

ENGLISHEN
COMPOSTING
The processed material can be composted in 
various ways:
-  The material can be placed in a heap directly on 
the ground (cold composting).
-  The material can be placed in a plastic 
container, wooden crate, skeleton container or 
similar (cold composting).
-  The material can be placed in an insulated 
compost holder. The heat is then held for longer 
and the rotting process also continues during 
the winter. This method produces faster results 
(warm composting).
-  The material can be spread directly onto the 
garden (surface composting).
ADJUSTMENT OF COUNTERHOLD/
BLADE
The cutting mechanism comprises a rotating blade 
and a counterhold. For optimum grinding, the gap 
between blade and counterhold should be 0 mm.
The gap is adjusted during manufacture and does 
not need to be adjusted when the machine is used 
for the first time.
If the grinding results deteriorate after a period of 
use, the counterhold can be adjusted as described 
below.
The engine should always be running 
when adjusting the counterhold.
The machine should always be feeding 
downwards when adjusting the counter-
hold.
Adjusting the counterhold:
1. Angle the auger downwards   and start the 
machine.
2. See fig. 10. Turn the adjusting screw slowly 
clockwise using the Allen key supplied.
3. Stop turning when a scraping sound starts to be-
come audible and fine aluminium shavings drop 
out through the discharge opening.
4. The gap between blade and counterhold is now 
0 mm again and optimum grinding results will 
be achieved.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the plug from the 
electric socket before any maintenance. 
Always wear protective gloves to avoid 
injury.
Generally speaking, compost shredders require 
very little maintenance. In order to maintain the 
efficiency of the machine and to achieve a long 
service life, observe the following:
• keep the air openings clean and free of obstructing 
material.
• check the customer-installed nuts and screws 
(tighten if necessary).
• spray the spiral cutter after each use with an 
environmentally-friendly, biodegradable spray oil 
to protect against corrosion.
CLEANING
Always clean the compost shredder after each use. 
Never use a high-pressure washer or 
running water when cleaning the 
shredder! 
Brush away dirt and plant residue which may be 
caught in the spiral cutter. Wipe clean the outside 
of the shredder with a cloth which has been 
moistened with a mild detergent and water.
SERVICE
Authorised service stations carry out repairs and 
servicing. They use genuine spare parts. 
Under no circumstances may parts 
other than genuine spare parts be used. 
This is a requirement stipulated by the 
Testing Authority. The machine is 
approved and tested with these parts.
If the machine requires servicing, 
repairs or maintenance which entail 
dismantling of the cover, this must be 
performed by an authorised service 
station.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make 
alterations to the product without prior 
notification.
